Why not use that piece of shit plane Qatar gave Trump?
A) Qatar had been trying to offload that plane for several years, so it needs maintenance work.
B) The plane sat under foreign control for a while after the transfer was announced, so every vital part of the plane needs to be checked for potential sabotage.
C) Qatar (and possibly other countries) have undoubtedly bugged every inch of that plane, so everything needs to be gone over with a comb, to find bugs.
D) It doesn't have enough gold.
All of which means they have to disassemble and then reassemble the plane before they allow it into service, which is going to take quite a while and a lot of money.
But it was a great deal for Qatar! They got to offload a plane they'd been trying to get rid of, they avoided the sanctions list, and they get training on US fighter jets and a base in the US.
Sounds really cool. She can have a foot on each jet and ride them like Dr Strangelove and the missile.
How many eggs can you get for 2 jets?
The irony is this makes her less safe. Flying without any civilian shields in a small probably single engine jet. No one has to do anything, she'll hire the most racist air force drum out as a pilot, talk shit on the maintenance staff and listen to freebird.
Seems like the right thing to do after firing a bunch of people
To be fair, her department is hiring heaps of people ...
Really. So they threw out tons of experience, put themselves in a desperate situation and hired back (hopefully the same people, but likely new) people for (likely) higher salaries?
ICE got a billion dollars in funding from the big beautiful bill. They are hiring shit loads of people. They report to Noem.
Pretty much. Filtering for loyalty to Dear Leader over competence or basic integrity for all positions from top to bottom will lead to that sort of thing.
second plane is to haul all that extra plastic around.

holy shit...
what the fuck is our society doing to people that drives them to this?
not a question I expect -you- to answer, but holy hell we should be asking it loudly.
I don't recall anyone getting plastic surgery for obama or bush...
What do you mean, she's lovely! /s
Still got the crazy eyes in that earlier photo.
Why two? Does she have a clone we don't know about? Or is the other plane just for carrying her wardrobe?
I would feel like a pleb if I only had one private airplane. Like a barely rich hobo. They should have gotten her three to be honest.
My friend who works for the government is having to get food from food banks because of the shutdown.
Did they hang people publicly after the Nuremberg trials?…asking for a friend.
